Chapter 422 Counterattack

Chi! Chi! Chi!

The void threads were extremely sharp; they were also bizarre and unpredictable. They attacked from all directions.

Although Meng Chuan’s Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique had many variations, it was only at Greater Mastery of the Dharma Domain realm.

Holy Lady Strings was extremely talented and also had high Essence Soul talent. However, her efforts were mostly focused on refining her control over the void threads. Her self-created ultimate technique was also known as the Strings Technique. Her technique realm was much higher than Meng Chuan’s, so her influence on the void was much more brilliant.

verse

The thing she yearned for the most in her life was to reach the highest theoretical realm of the Strings Technique so that she could reverse her age. In history, humans and demons that were unable to reach the Creation (Demon Sage) realm due to their age yearned for age reversal, recovering their bodies’ peak vitality and allowing them to break through to the Creation (Demon Sage) realm.

However, it was too difficult to reverse one’s

age!

First, one had to reach the Heaven Earth realm. This was an insurmountable roadblock to countless Regis G.o.dfiends (Fifth Firmament demon monarchs).

Secondly, it depended on the direction of one’s cultivation. For example, although Ancestral Master Guo Ke had reached the Heaven Earth realm when he cultivated the Heart Intent Saber, this saber art didn’t have the effect of reversing one’s age. This was also the reason why Holy Lady Strings had focused all her attention on studying the Strings Technique. According to her plans, if she cultivated the Strings Technique—which fused Yin and Yang-to the Heaven Earth realm, she would be able to reverse her age. However, reaching the Heaven Earth realm was too difficult.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

The void threads were sharper than blades! They were also extremely soft and mild.

Yin and Yang—hardness and softness-were one.

“Die.” The black-skinned youth, the hunchbacked demon monarch, and the stocky demon monarch rushed in front of Meng Chuan. They were willing to do anything for the sake of the numerous credits they would earn.

After killing Meng Chuan, they would skyrocket into prominence.

Mystify! The white-furred rat demon looked at Meng Chuan. He executed an invisible Essence Soul mystic technique, targeted at Meng Chuan.

Instantly, the five demon monarchs attacked simultaneously!

The Essence Soul mystic technique was the fastest. It invaded Meng Chuan’s sea of consciousness and enveloped his Essence Soul. However, his Essence Soul Star—which slowly spun—naturally resisted the illusions. His Essence Soul Star wasn’t eye-catching in other aspects, but its stability and defense were ridiculous! It was unbelievably stable.

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul only saw a few illusory images. He remained lucid; likewise, his strength remained unaffected.

“Capture him while his Essence Soul is affected.” The void threads controlled by Holy Lady Strings were equally fast. After the Essence Soul mystic technique struck Meng Chuan, the void threads quickly attacked him.

The Bloodblades flew to block them, but they were unable to intercept the unpredictable void threads.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The void threads approached Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan stood on the Bloodblade Disc as six Bloodblades circled him to protect him. He activated the defensive array formation’s runes on the Tribulation treasure. Six Bloodblades formed an array formation, which blocked all the void threads’ attacks.

Holy Lady Strings’s expression changed slightly. He wasn’t affected by the Essence Soul mystic technique?

Whoosh.

The black-skinned youth charged forward as well. A Bloodblade shot out, but it only left a hole in his body. The youth continued to pounce towards Meng Chuan.

Bloop! Bloop! Bloop!

The black-skinned youth transformed into a thousand-foot-wide, black mud pool that enveloped Meng Chuan.

The fifth Firmament demon monarch, Demon Monarch Quicksand, was a rare blackmarsh earth dragon. His divine power could turn his body into black mud. In terms of offensive strength, he was very mediocre. However, he had a virtually undying body. Among the fifth Firmament demon monarchs, only Patriarch Poison Dragon had a perfect undying body. He had used an outer realm treasure to transform his body into a Blackwater Poison Pool completely. His life essence had changed. The Blackwater Poison Pool was his true body. The dragon form was just something it was used to manifesting into.

Demon Monarch Quicksand relied heavily on his innate divine power. After transforming into black mud, he would pounce on the enemy and hold them back. Weaker opponents would die immediately. The stronger ones would be greatly affected by his attacks. If Holy Lady Strings took the opportunity to attack again, the probability of the attack succeeding would increase greatly. If she encountered a powerful enemy, she would have Demon Monarch Quicksand hold them back.

Demon Monarch Quicksand followed Holy Lady Strings when he first became a demon monarch. They had a deep relations.h.i.+p.

Oh? Meng Chuan looked at the large amount of black mud around him. Although the Bloodblades danced around him and formed a system which isolated the void outside—the black mud constantly obstructed the Bloodblades. It was rather difficult for him to activate the defensive array formation.

How th.o.r.n.y. With a thought, the 12 Bloodblades far away swiftly flew back. Meng Chuan relied on the 12 Bloodblades to hold on firmly.

Boom! The hunchbacked demon monarch arrived in front of Meng Chuan as well. He extended six arms out, each with a saber in hand. He cleaved down, causing cracks to appear in the void.

With the ma.s.sive amount of black mud holding him back and the void threads constantly attacking, the hunchbacked demon monarch’s six consecutive strikes held horrifying might. His full-powered strikes were even stronger than Holy Lady Strings when she controlled the void threads.

He struck the Bloodblades one after another, causing openings to appear in the 12 Bloodblades’ defenses. Immediately, void threads seeped through the cracks and stabbed at Meng Chuan’s head.

The stocky mountain demon at the back had already revealed his true form. He transformed into a 10,000-foot-tall giant and raised his stone arm high and smashed down with all its might.

The combined attacks of the five demon monarchs were very terrifying.

Divine power—Flowing Sand.

Silver runes surfaced on Meng Chuan’s forehead. Strands of silver lightning flashed around his head as silver lightning appeared in his eyes.

At that moment, everything beyond him slowed down.

The originally speedy threads were reduced to a tenth of their original speed!

Meng Chuan shook his head slightly as the void threads streaked past his face.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan’s speed increased exponentially as he stepped on the Bloodblade Disc. At the same time, the 12 Bloodblades flew at high speeds. They were faster than the void threads!

What’s going on? The five demon monarchs only saw Meng Chuan’s figure turn into a blur as he escaped their attacks. He was so fast that they were left dumbfounded. What did traveling hundreds of kilometers in a second imply? It meant that many of the demon monarchs’ attacks moved slower than Meng Chuan.

Just as he escaped the encirclement, Meng Chuan looked at the distant white-furred rat demon monarch. Void threads surrounded him. Holy Lady Strings sensed that the situation was beyond her control. She wanted to protect the white-furred rat demon monarch-the weakest of their group.

Kill. A thought arose in Meng Chuan.

Boom!

The five demon monarchs only saw a dazzling lightning bolt appear on Meng Chuan’s body. Then, the thick lightning bolt instantly traversed several kilometers, smiting the white-furred rat demon. It was so fast that none of the demon monarchs present had time to react. The white-furred rat demon was reduced to dust by the lightning bolt.

Divine power—Heaven’s Wrath.

This was one of Meng Chuan’s five divine powers. Among Meng Chuan’s many moves, this attack wasn’t very powerful. It was only as strong as an ordinary Creation realm expert’s attack. However, it was superior in speed. It literally moved at the speed of lightning! It was so fast that no demon monarch could react to it. All they could do was take it head-on. Furthermore, it caused paralysis upon being struck.

Against those with strong bodies, it would be akin to a tickle. As such, Meng Chuan didn’t use it against Demon Sage Nine Abyss.

When Meng Chuan was a Marquis G.o.dfiend, he had once used this move on Blood Shura, causing him to be slightly slower. This gave an opening for King Calm Sea to escape; it didn’t injure Blood Shura at all. Thus, the demons didn’t realize how powerful the attack was.

Now that he had reached the Blood Droplet realm, the divine power had increased in strength greatly. It had reached the level of an ordinary Creation realm expert’s attack. With a single strike, fifth Firmament demon monarchs—which had extremely strong bodies

—could only be heavily injured. However, Cave Lord White Azure was skilled in illusions. His body was mediocre among fifth Firmament demon monarchs. With a single strike, he was reduced to dust and died on the spot.

I thought it would take two or three strikes. Meng Chuan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the white-furred rat demon monarch get pulverized.

A look of surprise appeared in Holy Lady Strings’s eyes. How is that possible?White Azure is dead. The mountain demon and the hunchbacked demon monarch found it unbelievable.

They believed that they would have the absolute advantage after they joined forces, Who would have thought that Meng Chuan could escape despite this! Furthermore, they couldn’t even help Cave Lord White Azure before he died.

They had long known that 50 billion credits weren’t easy to obtain. However, Meng Chuan’s strength far exceeded their expectations.

“The intelligence on Meng Chuan isn’t complete,” said the hunchbacked demon monarch via voice transmission. “That lightning bolt released by King Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, is already as strong as a demon sage’s attack.”

“His speed far exceeds what is reported in the dossiers. The speed at which my demonic powers spread can’t match his speed. It’s impossible for me to attach myself to him.” The black mud also condensed into a black-skinned youth—who wore a solemn expression.

Holy Lady Strings was extremely solemn. She didn’t really care about the lightning bolt. No, she cared about his speed.

Being capable of traveling hundreds of kilometers in a second was terrifying. They actually forced me to use Flowing Sand. Meng Chuan had no choice. Without using this divine power, he wouldn’t be able to escape the void threads surrounding him. He didn’t even have the confidence that he could defend himself with the 12 Bloodblades. Perhaps he would’ve required all 18 Bloodblades to protect himself. However, doing that prevented him from counterattacking. I can only maintain Flowing Sand for a short period of time. I have to end this battle quickly. Under this divine power, Meng Chuan’s speed was terrifying. His blurry figure instantly appeared in front of the hunchbacked demon monarch. Next up is you.

It was very difficult to kill Holy Lady Strings. One had to clip her wings in order to have a chance of killing her.
